It's great to see the Valleywag Robert Scoble Challenge pay off. Over the weekend our boy committed an act of journalism: He called bullfeathers on Apple's brand promise — yes, we really talk like that out here — after a normal update to the new Mac OS X rendered his computer unusable. The hundreds of angry, unself-aware comments from Apple jihadists are priceless. My fave: "scoble doesn't know mac 101 basics like the decades-old firmware-based startup options used for trouble-shooting." This from a loser who can't find his Shift key. (Photo by Brian Solis)
